Sponsor a child in Afghanistan

From you, to a child, to a better future for the women of Afghanistan

By sponsoring a child in Afghanistan, you won't just be helping one child, but all the girls and women in a whole community. Without the basic education that ActionAid projects provide, the women of Afghanistan will never gain control over their land and their bodies.

You'll build a personal relationship with a child in Afghanistan, and a community will receive support with the projects they need to free themselves from a lifetime of injustice.

ActionAid child sponsor Sally Whitaker has sponsored Reena in India for 8 years. Sally's support has helped bring essentials to Reena's village, as well as helping her get an education. Furthermore, child sponsorship also helped educate Reena's whole community about their rights. Sally and her daughter Phoebe recently decided to visit Reena and see for themselves how their sponsorship is helping Reena's family to escape a life of poverty.


What you receive from Child Sponsorship


ActionAid child sponsorship is the start of an incredible one-to-one relationship between you and child in the developing world.

  • After you become a sponsor, we'll introduce you to a child with a photograph and some information about their life and the problems they face.
  • Then you can then look forward to regular updates direct from the community. You will get two personal messages a year from your sponsored child, along with reports about the difference you are making to so many lives.
  • Sponsoring a child with ActionAid is so easy to do. Just follow the link, enter your details, and start changing lives straight away.

Frequently asked questions

How does sponsorship work?
As a child sponsor you'll have a unique connection with a child. But to ensure that your donation is spent as effectively as possible, child sponsorship funds work in the community where your sponsored child lives. So you help not only the child you are sponsoring but also those who are closest to them - their friends and family.
